Hexcel HexForce Fiberglass E-Glass Plain Weave 3.67oz/124gsm – Style 1522 F16 Finish (50"/127cm)

Hexcel HexForce Style 1522 F16 is a premium, lightweight E-glass plain weave fiberglass cloth engineered for applications where low weight, excellent clarity, and smooth surface quality are critical. At approximately 3.67oz (≈124gsm), this fabric is ideal as a surfacing ply, cosmetic layer, or as part of multi-layer laminates that demand high performance with minimal mass.

The plain weave construction and fine yarns provide a tight, uniform fabric that wets out easily and drapes well over subtle curves, resulting in smooth, print-through resistant laminates. Hexcel’s proven F16 finish delivers excellent adhesion with epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester resin systems, making this style a versatile choice across many composite manufacturing processes.
